When cousin Lin Shuang's parents passed away, she was adopted by Lin Man's parents and became the family's darling.
Lin Man, on the other hand, became the sandwiched punching bag,...
Chapter 331: Confession (Page 1/2)
Huo Qingyan went to see Ling Fei but was driven away. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ya went to the hospital to see her with chicken soup, but was also driven out by Zhao Hongmei.
"Xiao Ya, your son wants to divorce my Fei Fei, so please stop trying to please him."
"Zhao Hongmei, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? It means that our Feifei doesn't want your son anymore. Your son said he wants to leave the house with nothing and leave all the money to our Feifei."
Things have come to this point, and they have no choice but to divorce. Although my niece's daughter is gone, her previous betrothal money plus Huo Qingyan's savings must be three thousand yuan.
With these three thousand yuan, they could live a good life every day. As soon as Mrs. Wang left, they would take Ling Fei to the house to recognize her relatives. She didn't believe that Minister Wang would not even recognize her own flesh and blood.
As the daughter of the Wang family, she can choose any outstanding talent in the country. It’s okay if she doesn’t have children, but it will be difficult for her to get married if she still has two little burdens.
Xiao Ya, holding the chicken soup, quietly looked at Ling Fei, who was leaning on the hospital bed and chewing on a meat bun. "Ling Fei, are you really planning to divorce my son?"
"Aunt Xiao, aren't you forcing me to do this? First you forced me to move out, and now you're forcing me to divorce Huo Qingyan."
"Aunt Xiao? You call me Aunt Xiao, Ling Fei, ah Ling Fei, we haven't even divorced yet, and you're already talking nonsense.
You said we forced you to move out, how dare you talk nonsense? There are some things you know clearly, and I won’t tell you.
Since you want a divorce, then do it. I won’t care about you anymore. Just take care of yourselves! I’m leaving now.”
After all, family disgrace should not be made public. Xiao Ya did not want to say anything extra, nor did she want to criticize Ling Fei in front of outsiders.
Before leaving, Xiao Ya put the chicken soup down. As soon as Xiao Ya left, Zhao Hongmei said, "Fei Fei, do you have Huo Qingyan's passbook?"
"At home, but he still has to go and get the money. Even if I have the passbook, I still need his seal to withdraw the money."
"I'm afraid that boy will regret it if his mother scolds him, and then I won't give you a penny. You look much better today. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and you will be discharged from the hospital and go back to your grandmother's house in the afternoon."
"If you leave like this, what will happen to my dowry?"
"Don't you have the key to your house? Didn't you say before that you would go back to the city for the New Year this year? When Huo Qingyan returns to the city for the New Year, give the key to your cousin and ask them to move in."
"But the passbook is still at home."
"Go back and get it after you're discharged from the hospital."
Zhao Hongmei originally planned to let Ling Fei stay in the hospital for two more days, thinking that the Chinese New Year was tomorrow and there was a lot of work waiting for her at home, so she had no choice but to leave the hospital.
If it were in the countryside, someone would have to get up and do farm work the next day after having a miscarriage. The doctor would say that she was not bleeding much now, so it was okay to be discharged from the hospital. He would prescribe some medicine and tell her to go home and take good care of herself. If anything happened, she could come back to the hospital for a follow-up check-up immediately.
Huo Qingci took a ride with the vice president back to the city. The first thing he did when he got back was to find his friend to collect money. After collecting the money, he took the TV ticket and went to the department store to buy a black and white TV.
Huo Qingci didn't return home until almost twelve o'clock. When Huo Qinghuan saw that his elder brother really bought a TV, he jumped up and down.
"Brother, brother, you really bought a TV. Where did you get this TV ticket?"
“I bought it from a friend.”
Huo Li asked Huo Qingci, "How did you get back when the snow was so heavy?"
"I came back in the vice president's car. He happened to be in the city for a meeting. Grandpa, I'm going to go back to my room and change my clothes. I have something to tell you after I change my clothes."
"Okay, go get busy first."
Huo Qingci first went back to his room to change into a coat, wiped his hair with a towel, changed into a pair of woolen clothes and a pair of thick cotton shoes, and went to the kitchen first.

Lin Man had just served the last dish when Huo Qingci rushed in. Seeing that Huo Qingci had finally returned home, Lin Man was very happy.
"It's still snowing today, how did you get back?"
"I'm back with a ride from our leader. Manman, put down the spatula first."
"What?"
Huo Qingci brought out a travel bag from the space, "Manman, this is for you!"
Lin Man was puzzled. "What is that?"
"Money! Have you forgotten that I used to sell medicinal herbs..."
Lin Man then realized that this was the more than 40,000 yuan that Huo Qingci earned from selling the space supplies.
In later times, 40,000 yuan could be picked up with one hand, but now it would take a big bag to hold it.
Lin Man smiled and shook the travel bag in her hand, then returned it to her own space.
"Qingci, let's take the dishes out first. After dinner, we'll go back to the room and count the money."
Huo Qingci smiled and said, "The money has been counted. Let's eat first and we can talk about other things later."
The two of them brought the food out. Because it was cold and there were few people at home, they did not eat at the big table. Instead, they put the dishes on the grill and ate while warming themselves by the fire.
Huo Qinghuan said to Lin Man, "Sister-in-law, my brother bought the TV, but the antenna hasn't been installed yet, so he can't find any channels."
"Oh, I see! Wait until your brother finishes his meal before installing the antenna."
There were only a few TV channels in that era, and there were very few TV programs. Lin Man had no interest in TV programs and would at most watch the news.
After dinner, Lin Man went to clean up the dishes. Huo Li asked, "Qingci, when will your parents return to the city?"
"I don't know when they will be back, Grandpa. Ling Fei fell and bled profusely yesterday, and the two babies in her belly are gone."
"What? You discovered such a big thing, why didn't anyone inform me?"
"We don't have a phone at home, and it's snowing heavily, so I can't come back..."
Huo Li also knew that he was embarrassing his grandson, so he asked nervously, "Is Ling Fei okay?"
"She almost died from excessive blood loss, but she was revived and is fine now. She has a special blood type, so I paid for 600 milliliters of blood for her last night."
"What happened? Why did she fall?"
"It snowed heavily yesterday, and it was windy. Some snowflakes drifted into the corridor of their new home, and a thin layer of ice formed on the ground.
Ling Fei arranged for the nanny to get food, but she was in a hurry to go to the toilet, so she went by herself. When she was walking back from the toilet, she ran into Si Jie opening the door. She was startled and her feet slipped and she fell.
The old lady of the Ye family encouraged Qingyan to ask his parents for 2,000 yuan for nutrition. When Qingyan refused, they asked Lingfei to divorce Qingyan.
"That's outrageous! That old woman is crazy about money. Two thousand yuan isn't just two yuan. She just takes it. What does Ling Fei say?"
Huo Qingci felt a headache when he thought about his brother leaving the house with nothing and going to live with Ling Fei. Who would be so stupid as to initiate a divorce and not ask for a penny?
It would be fine if Ling Fei was a good woman, but the problem is that she is not a good person.
"When Ling Fei returned to the ward, she listened to her aunt and asked Si Jie to compensate her with 1,000 yuan, and asked her parents to give her 2,000 yuan.
He threatened to divorce Qingyan if he didn't give him the money. Qingyan said he chose to divorce, leave the house with nothing, and leave all his money to Lingfei.
Huo Li was immediately upset when he heard this. "Your brother, that idiot, said he would leave all the money to Ling Fei?"
"Yes, I paid the few hundred yuan for the blood yesterday. Qingyan said he would pay me back when he got money. He also said that after his divorce was completed, he would apply to study in the Soviet Union for two years."
